CAMBRIDGE, ON — Marcus Horea, Vice President of Marketing at Coquette International Inc., extended the company’scongratulations and best wishes to their 2006 Cover Girl, Kara Monaco, who was crowned Playmate of the Year 2006 in the June 2006 issue of Playboy Magazine.

“We are so very proud of Kara,” said Horea. “She has such a unique look and she is such a beautiful girl. We selected Kara as our 2006 Cover Girl because we recognized this beauty and knew she would represent the Coquette brand well. Not only is Kara incredibly beautiful and sexy, she is sweet and genuine. It is these qualities that we found most unique when we selected her to be the face of Coquette for 2006.”

Horea recognized Monaco’s star quality when he first met her during a Coquette photo shoot last summer. “She has this spark and her ambition is certainly apparent in everything she does,” he said. “She worked vigorously during our photo shoot. She was always adamant about getting the right shot and showing the unique detail of each and everygarment. She has such determination and her new Playmate of the Year 2006 title only further proves her determination and potential.”
